gate receipts, like Killen," he said
After Sheedy had cracked this
little bit of pleasantly from all
four sides of the stage the men were intro
duced. Mcdonald proved to have consid-
cradle advantage in height and reach, but
1.-The Marine" made up the disparity by
superior agility. The set-to of four rounds
appeared to be exceedingly lively, and the
hitting spirited. In the second round 1.-The
Marine" brought the claret from N1cDon-
AIDS nose. In the third round the men
clinched and 1.-The Marine" was tripped up,
falling to the floor with too much force for
pleasure. In the wind-up 1.-THE Marine''
created considerable fun by his antics. Just
as the round finished there was
CRASH AND RUSH
of people from the rear of the hall. The
cause was soon apparent. A fence had
been built across the hall at the center to
divide the sheep and the goats, Or the people
who had paid 50 for reserved seats from
those holding general admission tickets at
81 each. The immense pressure of at least
1900 people had thrown down the barrier
and there was lively scramble. People were
forced from their seats and many rushed
pell nell to the stage The crowd rOared
and Sheedy shouted. At length order was
restored, when Sheedy announced
that the intruders must retire or
there would be no more boxing.
The people occupying the reserved seats,
however. took the invasion good-naturedly,
and Steve Taylor eX-champion heavy
weight, and Jimmy Carroll, the Massachu-
sets light weight, were introduced. The
disparity in height and weight made the
set-to rather amusing. Taylor simply tap
ped Carroll and pushed his blows easily
aside. The little man from the Bay state
was very agile and managed to get in some
clever blows. The set-to consisted of four
rounds, with liberal breathing spells be-
tween. Billy Phalen, Of Minneapolis. and
Billy Wisdom, of st. Paul. next appeared.
They made about as good showing i'll point
OF science as the imported talent, and drew
considerable applause. Phalen was ban
tam weight, and Wisdom Overmatched him,
but hon0rS were about easy at the end of
four rounds. Carroll and La Blanche reap
peared and gave the best bout of the even
ing, the crowd fairly screaming its delight.
La Blanche was full of fun and tripped
Carroll three times The last round was
almost wrestling match. and when Carroll
sent La Blanche sprawling OH his back
there was shout of laughter from the vast
audience. Steve Taylor and Mcdonald
gave pretty tOur-round exhibition, after
which wait Of nearly an hour ensued be-
fore the
EVENT OF THE EVENING
took place, and Sheedy first called the at
tentlon of the representatives Of the press
to the fact that the same gloves (ive-and-
one-half-ounce) that had done service dur
ing the evening would be used. The next
announcement was that Pat Sullivan, Of
NJ oil f,o,o
Dan Murphy, of Boston, as timekeeper
for Sullivan; Billy Hawkins. of st. Paul,
as timekeeper for Cardiff. Sileetiy next
read telegram from Killen's managers
stating that Kiilen would meet Sullivan
within thirty days. This was indefinite,
and he did not place much confidence
in a horse that had kicked him once.
He would, however, arrange meeting
upon the terms mentioned for Wednesday
or Thursday Of next week, and would be
sure to have Kilan handcutfed and in the
building before he would announce that he
would positively appear. It was eX-
actly 1890 o'clock when Sullivan
appeared, attended by Taylor and
La Blanche. The applause that
greeted him was light in comparison
with that which Cardiff received few
minutes later when he climbed upon the
stage, attended by John Donaldson and
Jerry Murphy. After the usual prelimin-
aries and shaking of hands the men faced
each other.
First Roond-After sparrng lightly for an
opening, Sullivan made rush at Cardiff
which earned them both to the ropes, Cardiff
receiving blow on the back of the neck
Cardiff in turn took the initiative and got in
three deliveries on SuIvau's face. This ex-
hihition of pluck by the local favorite
created great deal of enthusiasm.
Cardiff avoided Sullivan's next onslought
by ducking. In the next rush Sullivan
landed on Cardiff's neck. The men spared
cautiousIy,and feint on the part of Sullivan
caused Cardiff TO make rather absurd effort
to get away. The men clutched and time was
called.
Second Round-Sullivau led, but Cardiff
ducked, and in turn rushed the champion to
the ropes, where he got in a couple of telling
blows. The balance of the round was un-
eventful, Sullivan evidently waiting for Car
diff TO throw himself open, and Cardiff un-
willing to take any chances.
Third Rouud-Sullivan led with his right,
but was partially avoided by Cardiff, who
tailed on the Champion face and ran away.
Sparring at a safe distance followed, and the
crowd began TO hiss. Sullivan finally made a
dive at Cardiff, who Sprang across the stage.
Cardiff, after more sparring, rushed Sulli m
to the ropes and Il clinch followed, when
time was called.
Fourth round-This was walk around, not
blow being exchanged, the audience kissing
and grooming.
Fifth round-Sullivan started in with an
ineffective blow on Cardiff's neck. The bal
ance of the round was spent IN pedestrian
exercise. The entire audience was Kissing
and y cling hippodrome al the close of this
round.
Sixth Round-Cardiff led with rush at
Sullivan and landed two body blows. Sullivan
responded with rush, but Cardiff avoided
him. Sullivan next got in round-arm blow
on CardiH's neck without effect. and the men
separated when time was called.
Great confusion followed, the audience
crying 'hippodrome" and yelling for a de-
cision in favor Of Cardiff. Sheedy, by mo-
tions, indicated that Sullivan'S arm had
been broken, but this was received with a
cry Of derision. Finally quiet was restored
and the referee announced his de-
cision that the fight was a draw.
The decision gave evident dissatisfaction,
and the audience dispersed in bad humor.
An effort was made later to induce the ref
cree to change his decision, but he refused.
Cardiff was the recipient of congratula-
tions at his place of business
on Second avenue south. He kicked
considerably upon the decision. but was
evidently satisfied with escaping knock
out. The only regret he expressed was
that he had not known Sullivan's arm was
broken. so he might have made it impossible
for the referee to take the fight from him.
